I'm after a new monitor.

I want a 22" screen (or thereabouts) with HDMI and DVI inputs.

It will partly be for my desktop, and partly for my 360 when I'm away from home again.

Search on dabs threw up this as a possibility:

http://www.dabs.com/products/viewsonic-vx2239wm-22--1920-x-1080--full-hd-lcd-tft-with-2ms-vga-dvi-d-hdmi-monitor-77T8.html?refs=52980000

Thoughts/recommendations appreciated. Smiley

Seems like a good price / good deal that has everything you want it to do - I can't comment on the quality of the picture because I havn't seen one in person though.

I have a Samsung Syncmaster P2450H which I can't recommend enough. It is more expensive, but I think i've found it about £10 cheaper than that link. Plus you get an extra 2 inches, which is quite important for some people.

I can't really help on the recomendation of the monitor itself. But I can recomend that if the seller does a pixel checking service, it's worth spending the money on it.

For example:
CCL Online does a "Monitor checking service"
http://www.cclonline.com/product-info.asp?product_id=30321&category_id=364&manufacturer_id=0&tid=monitorchecking1

For £10.20 inc VAT they will take it out of the box and make sure the screen is ok. Also for 7 days, should it go wrong, they will collect and issue out another monitor at no extra cost to you.

I got my monitor off them.

Heres their range of 22" monitors:

Looks fine for 22" to be honest, but other good suggestions here too. One thing Magathery does mention that is worth checking is the policy on dead pixels and monitor failures and replacements - I've no idea what dabs is on this, although I have a sneaking suspicion my current main monitor was in a low priced offer from them Smiley - mainly I don't have a clue on this since I've not brought one for so long but worth checking before plonking down the cash in case somewhere else offers replacements for a minimal increase in price.

I'm quite happy with the LG I was given which came from Argos http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9261723/c_1/1|category_root|Office%2C+PCs+and+phones|14418968/c_2/3|cat_15701344|Computers+and+monitors|14419111.htm.  It doesn't have HDMI though and I'm sure it was under £120 before Christmas

Mm, definitely need HDMI though. May look to see if there's another LG that does if you can speak for their picture quality.

Do you really though? You do know you can convert hdmi to dvi and vga for the price of a small adapter right? I know it might not be as convenient - but for the sake of a really good monitor without it vs a shitty one with it - I know which one I'd choose.

Ok, do you know if there would be any noticable quality loss going HDMI > DVI?

None. Only difference is that HDMI carries audio, whereas DVI doesn't - but unless you're buying a TV it doesn't make a difference (since a monitor doesn't have speakers). Both are shielded in just the same way.

And yes mama - you have to go hdmi -> dvi -> vga Smiley I'm about to do it with my projector
